Do you use Handcent?

Do you use Handcent? I love it, but how do you turn off the stock sms? I am getting dup texts and have to delete in two spots.

Much simpler solution. Just turn off notifications settings on the stock app. Under settings of the stock app, you should be able to set the notification tone to "none" or "silent", and their should be another option to disable notification icons in the status bar.

I use handcent and my Gtalk and all other apps with notifications all function properly and I'm running EB01/SC2.4/Voodoo

Do I use a handbrake? Only if I am riding a motorcycle....but I also use the foot brake to activate the rear brakes.

Thanks, but I guess I would need to open my old sms to delete the msgs, otherwise they would be stored there.

When you delete a message from one, it gets deleted in the other. The text messages themselves get stored in /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.telephony/mmssms.db...both apps simply access that database to populate the text message list.
